Title says it all. Every time I try loading a JPEG into the Displacement channel on a shader, both cores go to 100% and Carrara locks up. I even waited 1/2 an hour, no joy.
Known bug, or am I doing something wrong? I’m loading the JPEG via the Displacement tab on the shader…

took a few minutes to load but Carrara even coped with one of those massive NASA Blue Marble elevation images, the 25000 pixel ones!
I even paint with 3D paint enabling displacement in 3D view using now, a 4000x4000 map and did so on my craptop too albeit only 2000x2000 there!
there must be something you are doing different.

Try making sure that it’s really a jpg. I sometimes have this issue if I’m working in an image editor such as Photoshop and want to Save As and type my file name (including extension) and forget to change the file type in the Save As dialogue. Usually happens when I’m overtired.
